Yeah, Rourke gets a bad rap for ruining his face with plastic surgery, and making some bad Zalman King films. But while he was "away" before the Wrestler, he was working his ass off in movie after movie, shining in some really odd supporting roles.
@MondoBeno Agreed. Hollywood is so political. Rourke could make the sun shine out of his ass and they still wouldn't give him the Oscar. It's Bullshit.
Thanks for posting this my first view of him as Jan! A few months ago I read an old article on Yahoo about this role. Mickey bought the wardrobe HIMSELF at a sex shop! Then took a coach seat on a plane IN FULL Jan gear for this one day shoot! He smiled at a kid on a plane and he had his teeth out and the kid SCREAMED! When he arrived on set wearing a blond wig NOBODY realized it was him! Funny stuff and a amazing guy.
Rourke gives his characters REALITY. I think he's an acting genius. He was in this film less than 10 minutes but he was the most memorable part becuase what he creates has such depth and operates on so many levels. Go see part 3 on You Tube of Jan The Actress and see if you agree.
It's a testament to his versatility that this man can play anything or anybody and make you totally suspend disbelief. He's an amazing talent and I'm so grateful that the success of The Wrestler means more high profile roles are coming his way. He's just a stunning, real and brave performer.
Wow Mickey Rourke is sooo fucking Brave to play such a Gay Guy. He's funny though - he went dressed as that on an airplane to the shoot. He said " it was before 9/11 so I got away with it!!"
he makes this whole gay scene very funny

Mickey Rourke...One of the finest actors of all times!!!
He might have been away for a while but was never forgotten by people who really know good cinema.

Mickey Rourke - In my opinion the most masculine actor around, playing a drag queen. That shows u his range.
Mickey, you're up there with DeNiro and Pacino in my book. Glad you're working again!

i get so angry when people call mickey rourke a 'has been', he's such a good actor and is still very much in the main spot light for movie makers.

Man, I have been looking for this movie for years, I saw it on TV once, and I loved it right away.
Sadly, I have never seen it again up until this day. I checked every movie site, and videostore I could, I still have not seen it.
*sigh* :'(
